| the_dengle said: I'm not 11 years old anymore either, and as such I have actual financial responsibilities. Kids can afford anything, all they have to do is ask their parents to buy it for them. The answer may be 'no', but it's not because the kid couldn't afford it. I believe that the best end product for "we the gamer" is a variety of products at differing price points. As it stands Nintendo produces the most affordable gaming hardware of any respectable quality, and that's an excellent option to have. Doubling the cost of their machines does me no favors. Basically I don't give a shit about fancy specs, because modern smartphones have those in spades and yet I get much more satisfying gaming experiences on my 3DS or, hell, even on my old GBA SP. Keep the price point low. Keep power consumption low (thus keeping battery life high). Keep making great games. That's all I want. I already have a phone. Make me a video game console. |
Well put.
